Giggles
I found this still from new movie Dan in Real Life and it made me giggle. Anyone with a sense of humor loves this Japanese picture book and all children seem to have an inbuilt sense of humor when it comes to talking about bodily functions. The message of the book is that all living things eat so all must poop (or Poos depending on your hemisphere). This Japanese style of illustration is beautiful, it has a lovely innocence and the colours used are glorious. In the same series and along the same topic is also The Gas We Pass by Shinta Cho; the story of farts.
Some other great but slightly gross picture books;
My favorite - The Fly (La Mosca); How a Perfect Day Turned into a Nightmare -Fly goes for a swim in a porcelain pool (loo) until something very large falls from the sky , Splash! Sick? Yes very but the collage illustrations are fantastic and it is funny.
And of course the classic - The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew it was None of his Business - you can’t get much better than a mole with poo on his head.
